A Clean Kitchen Is A Happy Kitchen (Belgium, Netherlands, Scotland) are Craig Ward (The Love Substitutes, True Bypass, iH8 Camera, ex dEUS), Butsenzeller (DAAU, Kapitein Winokio, Dóttir Slonza) and Paul Lamont (Hitch) and they play noisy cantankerous Shellac, Beefheart, Crimson, Coltrane rock.
 
This record is their second full length and picks up where last year’s split release with Silent Front left off and looks set to draw more favourable King Crimson ‘Red’ comparisons. It is a smashing album by awesome sexy middle aged musical veterans. The album was recorded at Trix, Antwerp and mastered at Laundromat by Jeff White and features a wonderful gatefold sleeve designed by Bert Lezy.

‘Deftly consolidating all the best elements of math, noise and post-rock into one convenient package’ – Hemulism
 
Craig Ward moved from Scotland to Antwerp after an invitation from Stef Kamil Carlens (dEUS, Zita Swoon) to holiday there. It was a long holiday. Craig joined Kiss My Jazz and found himself in the hub of a fervent music scene to the extent that Rudy Trouvé suggested him as his replacement in dEUS ('In A Bar Under The Sea' and 'The Ideal Crash' era albums and tours). After leaving dEUS in 2004 Craig formed the acclaimed band The Love Substitutes with Mauro Pawlowski and Rudy Trouve, releasing two albums, ‘Meet The Love Substitutes While The House Is On Fire’ (2005) and ‘More Songs About Hangovers and Sailors’ (2007). In 2008 the trio released a split solo album as Pawlowski, Trouvé and Ward. Craig also fronts the noise jazz band A Clean Kitchen Is A Happy Kitchen who released their self titled vinyl in 2011 and a split EP in 2012 this year with Silent Front. In 2012 he released an acclaimed album with Mark Mulholland called ‘Waiting For The Storm’. His production credits include The Frames ‘For The Birds’ alongside Steve Albini. Craig has recently moved back to his native Glasgow where he runs a guesthouse.
